Just a guess, but on my S1, I have a similar ground which attached to the right side steering column mounting bolt.  It is a redundant ground as the steering column U joint is also grounded to the rack.

I can't tell the color of the wire - calling it a ground implies black - but it looks like it's a PW (purple/white or white/purple) which means it goes to the courtesy door switch which then has to be grounded. Am I close?

It’s black …. I am thinking steering column ground as My S1 suggested (thanks S1!)
